The Book of Trades.
Warne's Picture Puzzle Toy Books.

London, F. Warne & co. [ca.1870]. Ff. [10] 26.2 x 22.5 cm. Directions on "How to use this picture-book" are given on the first leaf, which is pasted to the front cover. Key pages contain the objects, figures and parts of figures, belonging to the blanks left in the picture book. The objects, etc. are all numbered according to the pages to which they belong. They must be cut out neatly and stuck in the blanks which they fit. The blanks might also be coloured by the child. The six plates when completed represent the trades of a carpenter, builder, miller, watchmaker, coachbuilder, and ship-owner. This is the seventh in a series of eight with plates printed in colour by Kronheim.
